Tailored Programs for Every Body
Achieve your goals with personalised group sessions
Our diverse range of physiotherapy classes in Mackay and Sarina offers something for everyone – from targeted rehabilitation and injury recovery to general fitness and wellness. With a strong focus on individualised care, our experienced team designs customised programs to support your mobility, strength, and overall health goals.
Falls Prevention Classes
This class incorporates standing balance, leg strength and bone stimulating exercises to treat osteoporosis and osteopenia, using body weight and small exercise props. Unfortunately the consequences of a fall can be catastrophic such as a fractured hip or prolonged hospital stays. Advancing age does not mean that you need to become inactive. Standing activity improves bone density, makes leg and trunk muscles strong and can improve balance and reduce your risk of a fall. Join our fall prevention and osteoporosis class to increase safety and fitness.
Classes Tuesday @ 10.30am.
